Expertise

> Commercial & Tech

We advise on general commercial contracts as well as technology contracts (licensing and development agreements), distribution arrangements, franchising and outsourcing. We have a talented team of lawyers who specialise in understanding the detail of these commercial agreements.

Our corporate team focuses on advising entrepreneurs and SMEs in key sectors on all aspects of public and private M&A and private equity investment, as well as fundraisings and equity capital markets transactions, from flotations and secondary offerings to reverse takeovers in the UK’s quoted markets.

At Hamlins, we believe cyber security is so much more than a technology issue. It needs to feature at a much higher level within your organisation, as part of the overall business strategy. We can advise on steps to take to minimise the risk of cyber attacks, through to how to contain a live cyber crisis.

We have vast experience of protecting the reputations of corporates and individual clients. Our focus is on preventing damage by early engagement with the media, and working closely with your representatives to prevent allegations from spreading.

Disputes can disrupt the natural flow of business, cause stress and anxiety and take up valuable financial resources and management time. Litigation can have a direct impact on productivity and finances and can be an unwelcome distraction.
